Btw the regular Uvalde police all are outfitted with Level 4 armor, which is capable of stopping armor-piercing rifle rounds (not something an AR-15 would shoot, most AR-15's shoot .223, roughly comparable to the level 1 example in the graphic below.) So unless this shooter, who just bought a gun a few weeks before, was an amazing shot, I am skeptical that they couldn't have neutralized him before the border patrol came -- especially since pretty much every police department in Texas has training on school shootings, and Uvalde has its own SWAT team.
